one question.... why does ultra anery have both A's, but ultra amel is combined to be ultramel? Because to me, when I pronounce it, it becomes ultra-mel. Am I missing something?
is it supposed to be short for ultra melanistic? Please explain

Because ultramel rolls off of the tongue easier. You make/pronounce the names so they are easy to remember.

Ultra Anery is homozygous for Ultra and Anery.
Ultramel is HET for amel and HET for ultra.
Ultramel Anery is HET for amel, HET for ultra, and homozygous for anery.

The combined word is used because ultra and amel share the same locus.
